Fethiye Marmaris Gulet Charter is a well-balanced 7-night route combining the Gulf of Fethiye, Göcek Islands and the Marmaris coastline. It is particularly suitable for guests who want a private weekly gulet charter with a mix of sheltered bays, swimming stops, coastal towns and short periods ashore.
The route begins and ends in Fethiye. During the week, the yacht can visit Tersane Island, Aga Limani, Ekincik, Marmaris, Turunc, Cennet Island, Sarsala Bay, Yassica Islands, Göcek and several quiet anchorages along the southwest coast of Turkey.
This is a sample itinerary. The captain may adjust the programme according to weather, sea conditions, harbour availability and the operational requirements of the yacht.

The exact sequence may change during the charter. However, this programme gives a clear idea of the main cruising areas normally combined on a Fethiye–Marmaris weekly gulet route.
Day 1 – Fethiye
Embarkation takes place in Fethiye, one of the main yacht charter centres on Turkey’s southwest coast. After boarding, the crew welcomes the guests and completes the final charter briefing.
Depending on the embarkation time and yacht programme, the first night may be spent in Fethiye harbour or at a nearby anchorage. This gives guests time to settle into their cabins, meet the crew and review the week’s itinerary with the captain.
Fethiye is also a convenient starting point because it provides direct access to the Göcek Islands, the Gulf of Fethiye and the route towards Marmaris.
Day 2 – Tersane Island & Aga Limani
After breakfast, the yacht can cruise towards Tersane Island. The island is one of the best-known anchorages in the Gulf of Fethiye and is named after its historic shipyard area.
Guests can spend time swimming and relaxing before continuing towards Aga Limani. This sheltered area is well suited to an afternoon stop or overnight anchorage.
Because cruising distances are relatively short, this part of the route allows more time at anchor. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for families and groups who prefer swimming and onboard time rather than long passages.
Day 3 – Ekincik Bay & Marmaris
The yacht continues west towards Ekincik Bay. Surrounded by forested hills, Ekincik is a popular anchorage between Fethiye and Marmaris.
From here, guests may also arrange an optional excursion towards Dalyan and Kaunos, subject to timing and local transfer arrangements. Afterwards, the yacht can continue towards Marmaris or anchor in one of the nearby bays.
Marmaris offers a different atmosphere from the quieter anchorages. Guests may choose to spend time ashore, visit the old town or enjoy one of the waterfront restaurants before returning to the yacht.
Day 4 – Turunc Bay & Cennet Island
The fourth day can focus on the coastline south of Marmaris. Turunc is a small coastal settlement with a sheltered bay, restaurants and easy access ashore.
Nearby, guests can also visit the area around Amos or continue towards Cennet Island. The captain may choose the best anchorage depending on wind and sea conditions.
This section of the route offers a good balance between swimming, relaxing onboard and short visits ashore.
Day 5 – Sarsala Bay & Yassica Islands
The yacht begins returning towards the Gulf of Fethiye and Göcek region. Sarsala Bay is one of the area’s well-known anchorages and offers calm water for swimming and paddle sports.
Later, the programme may continue towards the Yassica Islands. The small islands and shallow channels make this area particularly attractive for swimming, kayaking and paddleboarding.
In addition, the short distances between anchorages allow the crew to adjust the day according to guest preferences.
Day 6 – Göcek Islands
Day six is dedicated to the Göcek Islands and surrounding bays. This region is one of Turkey’s most popular private yacht charter areas because many anchorages are located within short cruising distance of each other.
Depending on the captain’s plan, possible stops may include Yassica Islands, Tersane Island, Göbün, Bedri Rahmi Bay or other protected bays in the region.
As a result, the day can be organised around swimming, lunch onboard and watersports rather than long cruising hours.

Day 7 – Samanlik Bay & Kizilada
On the final full day, the yacht can cruise towards Samanlik Bay and Kizilada. Both areas are close enough to Fethiye to allow a relaxed final day without a long return passage.
Guests can spend the afternoon swimming, enjoying the yacht’s water toys or simply relaxing on deck. Afterwards, the captain may choose an overnight anchorage that allows a comfortable return to Fethiye the following morning.
Day 8 – Fethiye
The yacht returns to Fethiye for disembarkation. Check-out time depends on the individual charter agreement and yacht programme.
Before departure, the crew assists with luggage and final onboard arrangements. Guests can then continue their journey from Fethiye or connect with onward transfers to Dalaman Airport and surrounding destinations.
Who Is the Fethiye Marmaris Route Best For?

- Families looking for sheltered bays and regular swimming stops

Best Time for a Fethiye Marmaris Gulet Charter
The main charter season generally runs from May to October.
June offers warm weather and strong yacht availability before the busiest summer weeks.
July and August are peak-season months. Therefore, popular gulets are normally booked well in advance.

May and October can suit guests who prefer quieter cruising. However, weather conditions may be more variable.
Important Itinerary Information
